Abstract: A method for remote attestation includes establishing, using a cryptographic protocol, a communication session between a first computing device and a second computing device. The communication session includes communications encrypted by an ephemeral session key. The method includes receiving, at the first communication device via the communication session, from the second computing device, an attestation request requesting the first computing device to provide an attestation report. The method includes generating, by the first computing device, the attestation report based on the ephemeral session key and sending, using the communication session, the attestation report to the second computing device.

Abstract: A method for integrating third-party encryption managers with cloud services includes receiving, at data processing hardware, an operation request requesting a cryptographic operation on data comprising an encryption operation or a decryption operation. When the operation is an encryption operation, the method includes transmitting a data encryption key associated with the data to a remote entity. The remote entity encrypts the data encryption key with a key encryption key and transmits the encrypted data encryption key to the data processing hardware. When the operation is a decryption operation, the method includes transmitting the encrypted data encryption key to the remote entity which causes the remote entity to decrypt the encrypted data encryption key with the key encryption key and transmit the decrypted data encryption key and transmit to the data processing hardware.

Abstract: A modular shelving system with a series of shelves, shelf-support brackets, bracket attachment disks, and hinge-pins. The support brackets are hingable. The support disks each include a series of apertures for allowing the disk to be fastened to a wall or stud. The shelf support brackets include shelf-receiving slots. The hinge-pin is threaded to be screwed into the bracket-receiving disks. The shelves are inserted into the shelf-receiving slots in the shelf-support brackets to create a custom multipurpose shelf design, including for climbing animals such as cats.

Abstract: A modular shelving system with a series of shelves, shelf-support brackets, bracket attachment disks, and hinge-pins. The support brackets are hingable. The support disks each include a series of radially disposed apertures and additional apertures for allowing the disk to be fastened to a wall or stud. The shelf support brackets include shelf-receiving slots and a post extending from the bracket that can be inserted into one of the radially disposed apertures. The hinge-pin is threaded to be screwed into the bracket-receiving disks. The shelves are inserted into the shelf-receiving slots in the shelf-support brackets to create a custom climbing shelf design for climbing animals such as cats.

Abstract: A cap for a nasal spray apparatus, the cap including a spray dispensing mechanism and further including a base sealingly mountable on a container of liquid substance to be dispensed; an intermediate section arranged for reciprocating movement relative to the base the intermediate section including the spray dispensing mechanism and having a spray dispensing passage; a cover-section having a depressible flexible portion, coupled to the intermediate-section; and a Light Emitting Diode (LED) connected to a power source through an electric circuit, the LED mounted adjacent the spray dispensing passage so as to be inserted into a nostril therewith; wherein the depressible flexible portion is arranged and configured to cause closure of the electric circuit for activating the LED and to actuate the spray dispensing mechanism, to provide both illumination and spray of liquid substance into the nostril.

Abstract: A device for the treatment of rhinitis by biostimulative illumination. The device comprises a pair of LEDs (504a; 505b) containing probes (202a; 202b) adapted to be inserted into the nostrils of a patient. A probes support casing (204), the probes being normally flexibly attracted one against the other. The casing accommodates an electric power source (502), an ON/OFF normally open micro-switch (504a) and circuit means for activating/deactivating the LEDs (504a; 504b). The casing (204) is made of at least partly elastomeric material whereby the micro-switch (504a) becomes activated by pressing against a side-wing (206a) of the casing also causing the probes to spread apart from each other and the micro-switch remains closed for as long as the probes are kept apart from each other.
